When will we see proper gameplay?

Will the embargo on YouTubers be lifted before 4pm on Launch Day?

It is a little concerning that we are not being shown any actual raw gameplay footage before launch. That usually means there is something to hide. Would it not have been good marketing to let the YouTubers start showing their Career/My Team races and gameplay footage to build some hype and get F1 2026 Season Pack trending? I'm yet to even see it pop up on the Xbox Store. 

Im sure EACM want as many people to buy it as possible. Why is everything so quiet? Even this forum is a bit of a ghosttown.

As a league owner, I want it to shift a few copies too so we have a wider pool of drivers to attract to our league. SDG Racing League - Discord HERE!

    Well first of all, it's only a 60/40 split next year which will reduce the super clipping, not eliminate it.

    Second, next year is next year... which has no bearing on what might happen for game sales this year. The point I was trying to make is that if people see game play footage of cars lifting and coasting through 130R that is not exactly going to motivate them to go buy the game because it doesn't exactly scream exciting edge of your seat racing.

    Can we stop with this rhetoric already? If they were trying to hide it, they wouldn't do onboards at all. FOM/FIA have openly stated changes to the engine for next year to get rid of superclipping. It's not a conspiracy, sheesh.

    I hope that "it probably Wouldn't be for everyone" be in a good way about game realistic and the challenge that is to drive these new cars with that battery issues that IRL are so common

    My guess is that they are trying to hide the same thing that the FOM is trying to hide IRL... super clipping/ battery management. In a post over on reddit a few days ago Alex Gillon (who has played the DLC) talked a bit about the racing style and acknowledged it probably wouldn't be for everyone.
